the tai/chi ladder

the tai/chi ladder

prelude:

as you go baldie, like me in delusional midlifecrisis mode....

simple things in life tend to take a priority

sunday, good/bearable air - the sun god blessing like it always tries to...

so lets write some more imaginary delusional stuff which never happened

story:

i wasnt a baldie then

i just knew that i knew nothing - working in wessee - debugging hardware, oscilloscopes and all, without any help of internet - makes a good engineer out of you - a pure 1

Yet, the $$ salary was less, and my real mentor had to xfer for official reasons.

no learning, just few piddies trying to become 'leaders' after the real leader was gone.

So i went $$ - telco startup

I dint knew 'fine life' then...wessee is a very humble environment - your are humbled everyday with people who are good at what they do - coz mostly they 'want' to deliver - in best defense culture - overlooking few things, sidestepping most. - Rs 7 lunch and 2x v v creamy tea..

Telco Startup 1

work was good.

ppl were good

mentors were awesome

till eno < 100

then Tai Chai ladder was invented - the better way to 'live'

I dont know about health - none of them had any diameter_delta--

but then, its function was something else...

i was really tech++ then - ugly and all, only trying to make up for $$, 'status+=0' after loss of my father then.

Then, after a few years of really working - i realized what tai-chai was really was :

-an enlightenment quest

-buddhas qualify for it

-skip work, or choose work or make time - to become a leader

and few did - they dint deliver any projects or anything...the did try though...

wimax - was a sure shot bet

android - we were the 'pioneers'

apps - coolest telco apps ever made..

it was existing amongst the gods.

Learn tai-chai anons

• see the 'perception', the cheap gyaan sold off as 'management knowledge' - the alfreds of society - rich ones.

I dint learn tai- chai, i think Dhalsim doesnt represent now, it represented an Indian being judged for not being an alfred

Now- how does it matter ??

delusions cant manifest sucess - i am delusional - someone wrote it in an official communication - so cant deny it...

as always - u see what u want to see.

After Thoughts

Thoth:#1

here - i ported roms, to new boards, version++, sometimes drivers - simple ones...

made a framework sold off multiple times - a mentor claimed to have 'invented' it, and I merely helped him

...a mentor sold out for corner office, a childs tantrum, and then doubling up on the seniority++ by acting like 5 footiya nickeodean version of godfather

i took pity - really.

Thoth:#2

there are some 'baldies' who know that they know better....just a Q - really do u?

are u relevant?

did u really deliver as 'leader'?

did u pass on the 'torch'?

did u obey they shishya/chela realtionship - called mentorship by alfreds.

The bigger takeaway for me - i chose skill, un-apologetically and i did pay $$ for it - a 0, a very 'small 1' - my 0 was v v less than

telco closed its windows - the royal salute to all 'mentors' was given - verbally, or in silence - too big to take on....too much time...cant really tell the cows to stop mooing...

i respect cows.

Thoth:#3

i did hold some sacred 'millionaire sureshot $$ stock' - too bad it seemed not worth the 'esop rs$$ ~ 5k then"

a choice - made knowing what i knew - knowing the actors and the real glass ceiling - of gods of telco!!

hats off

• the hq had real leaders - best run of my life - california - the best ppl.
